ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To assess the prevalence of new-onset postpartum chronic hypertension (PPCH) after pre-eclampsia and to determine the factors are associated with it.METHODS:
This study was conducted in a tertiary center in south India, between June 2018 and February 2019, consisting of pre-eclamptic women who were recruited as part of an ongoing cohort and had completed at least 3 months of postpartum follow-up. Demographic, medical, and laboratory details were collected. Primary outcome was a diagnosis of new-onset PPCH at 3 months.RESULTS:
PPCH at 3 months was noted in 32 (18.1%) women. During postnatal follow-up, 2 (1.1%) women experienced hemiplegia from stroke and 19 (10.7%) had elevated serum creatinine levels (>1.1 mg/dL). On multivariate analysis, advancing maternal age (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.10, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01-1.21), multiparity (aOR 2.79, 95% CI 1.07-7.24), and eclampsia (aOR 3.07, 95% CI 1.03-9.13) increased the risk of PPCH at 3 months postpartum.CONCLUSION:
One in five women present with a diagnosis of new-onset PPCH within 3 months postpartum in a cohort of predominantly preterm and/or severe pre-eclampsia. A significant but weak association of PPCH with peripartum clinical characteristics was noted. The role of biochemical, hemodynamic, and echocardiographic biomarkers should be evaluated for prediction of PPCH after pre-eclampsia in future studies.Palavras-chave
